The Conference will be a one day event consisting of keynote speakers, panel discussions, and demonstrations. Through meaningful discussions, we hope to engage the panelists and the conference participants in enlightening and lively debates that will encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. It is the intent of the Executive to provide panel discussions on topics that will attract the interest of students and professionals in varying fields of study, as well as members from outside the academic world, such as business, and local and provincial governments. Faculty of Management students will be encouraged to present papers and to participate in poster displays. Management Without Boarders students and Information in Society students will be targeted to present at this conference.
